Iraq PM Nuri Maliki 68 Seats in The Lead: Unconfirmed Reports

The local Baghdad media has reported that Prime Minister Nuri Maliki is currently in the lead with 68 seats. The next contender, Abdul al-Hakim, (the one that would like to take Iraqi’s to the stone ages) currently has 48 seats. These are unconfirmed reports as the Iraq Election Committee is continuing with the vote count. We should have more concrete results by next week.

Abdul al-Hakim cant take them to the stone age, maliki already has them there.

Thanks for the update

I am not a big fan of Maliki but at least you know what you have with him. Who knows what someone else might be like. Be careful what you wish for.

Whoever it is they couldn’t be worse than Maliki.
The people of Iraq has had no progression with Maliki. Ten years, billions of US dollars, all types of resources and the people still live in abject poverty.

Maliki is on his way out… you can take that to the bank!

Maliki at least wears a suit and tie. Hakim dresses like he is in a Broadway Musical cast of Aladdin. That Hakim dude is only 1,000 years, out of tune, with reality.

AC If you believe the Iraqi media after all this time that you have been reporting to us, then I am done reading your posts.

Thank you AC for your continued updates. We’ll see what happens, I am neutral at this point, since I don’t usally side with crooks.

Keep up the good work buddy a lot of us will still be here to see what you find on all of this and where it will lead us in the near future. A few of us have been in this from the start and we will see it all the way through as well. So keep it coming.

Hakim and Sadr needed 70 seats, and they’ve got 80! I’d say Maliki is on his way out!
